Nico was definitely caught off guard when he was told that he was needed for a mission. Immediately the slight tension in his shoulders faded into momentary confusion, then he worried again, tensing up because while he had no qualms with going under cover that meant that he wouldn't have much of a chance of taking care of Jordie.
There wasn't any way he was going to let the kid alone- no doubt he'd have to spend more time in Vulture territory just to gain their trust- because he could get seriously hurt. The kid was pretty naive, Nico wanted it that way, and he didn't want him to get hurt.
He opened his mouth, ready to decline, but Shep had continued on, assuring him that Jordie would be safe. The tension faded as he looked over at Shep, wanting to breath a sigh of relief, unsure if he could trust the man but... he had the guys word. "Alright. But... he needs more looking after than most. He's curious and accident prone. He's too trusting. " He said nothing of how sickly the boy was, though.
That was something he didn't want anyone knowing, he couldn't be seen as a weak link because of it.
Nico tipped his head to one side curiously, because he hadn't thought of Hensell, surprised at the plan. "So... we set her up and tip off her father?" He said slowly, looking incredibly interested in the plan, his mind slowly wandering back to Gia... would it be a problem there? If he wasn't careful it very well could be. "Why don't we just observe it more, find out when a big thing is going down, and send the older Hensel over there?" He asked, not wanting to look hesitant, but it was a genuine question. He wanted to avoid being a target afterwards, because even if the Vultures went down, there'd still be some former gang members on the street.
(Sorry it took so long!)

{Sorry for not really doing much yet, I had an exam today, a final exam early tomorrow in a class I'm on the edge of failing and an essay for another class that's a third of my grade due after that.

Joseph looked over at her when she called him, blinking. He smiled, zipping up his jacket “I'll see you later too, don't get in too much trouble.”
He reached for the door and opened it before stepping out. Every time he went out on patrol, he couldn't help but feel anxious. At any point, he could be badly injured or killed, not knowing if his efforts would have helped the neighborhood in any meaningful way.
It was worth the risk. Giving people a place worth living in was something he was going for. The area may be poor, but given enough attention, it could be fixed. The first step to that was getting rid of the rampant criminal activity.
As he stepped into his police car, he looked back at the door and smiled before pulling out. His first stop was the east of Brook street, where the Vultures had claimed their territory. Because of how openly hostile they were, that's where most of the visible crime was. He's usually able to turn in a good number of gangsters on a lucky day there.

Sera couldn’t help but worry about what would happen if she was discovered. Kip had thrown a fit when he realized his sister had been chosen to go undercover as a Vipers member, but even she would admit that it made sense. She was usually back at home, taking care of the sick and injured or working closely with the leaders. No Viper would recognize her. Still, there was the fear that something would go wrong. Luckily, Shep had taken her in without too much trouble. It had been a long initiation, but she was finally trusted to be on her own and she was currently patrolling the edge of Viper territory. She looked over towards Vulture territory, where she knew her friends and family were. At the same time, she wasn’t disliking life here. Sure, she was alone in enemy territory, but the Vipers were smarter. They actually thought, instead of just mercilessly slaughtering whatever they could get their hands on. Part of her felt like she belonged here, even if the thought made her guilty. She straightened up and resumed walking when she saw someone approaching. Shep’s Brother, she recalled, but she didn’t know his name. Shep was pretty much the only one she’d talked to so far. She had her mission, and she wanted to keep herself from forming any bonds with these people. ƤαƖƖαѕ ✧

Bella hated living here, but she knew she wasn’t going to get out of here anytime soon. No, not after she was left in charge of her brother after their parents died. Of course, Jamie was almost able to raise himself. At 16, he’d be perfectly fine on his own. In fact, he was one of the most mature 16 year olds she knew. Still, she was worried that he’d get involved with the gangs if Bella wasn’t there. He was a smart boy with a bright future. She’d never gone to college, but she was saving money where she could to make sure that Jamie could go. When she woke up, she’d headed downstairs to see what she could make for breakfast. Their pantry was dreadfully empty and she heard her stomach growl as she reached for the cheapest off brand cereal she could find. They didn’t even have any milk this week. She poured the cereal into two chipped cups and waited until she heard Jamie coming down the hallway. “Morning,” she said, handing him the cup of cereal. He looked down at it with a frown and she didn’t blame him. This was all they been eating lately. “Morning. I’m heading to school early,” he said, reaching over to hug her. Just like that, her brother was gone. She watched him go and then sighed as she turned to look down at her own cup. She wasn’t even hungry anymore, so she put it in a bag to keep it from going stale. She headed out onto the streets, head down to avoid any trouble from either of the gangs populating the area. 𝚛𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚢

It was worth noting that Gia was not a 'kids' kind of person. She had younger siblings, sure, but that was different because they were her siblings. Plus Vivienne was only a few years younger than Gianna herself.
And this boy was so stubborn it was going to cause her problems unless she handled this correctly.
"Because your brother is on that side of town and he is not on this side of town. Because you belong on the other side of town and not on this side." Gia pointed out
Then he was talking about his brother not finding out and Gianna smiled.
"If he gets any hint you've been here he's going to come round here asking me about it. And I'm not going to lie to him."
Nico was smart; he would probably figure out his brother had gone behind enemy lines eventually, and Gianna would be the first person he went to when he had questions.
When he started questioning whether the bar was worth buying or not, she was a little relieved. She couldn't help but smile when he put it back on the shelf.
"Look, just don't bother. I'm sure your gratitude will be shown to your brother just as plainly without the chocolate bar. If you took it he would know you'd stolen it anyway."
Then came the final stubborn question, and she sighed.
"Listen, kid, you just gotta trust me on this because there is a lot of stuff I can't tell you. But you can't just go wherever you want to like your little school friends. There are some people here who don't like your brother and they might hurt you to try and hurt him. Do you understand? If you come here you have to be careful." Jordies features scrunched up a little in confusion at the simple explanation- why would it matter if he grew up on one side and she did the other?
Why did it really matter when it was all dangerous, anyways?
At least the other part of her explanation made more sense- Nico was kind of relentless and he could definitely see him march down here and track Gianna just to demand why she let Jordie steal a dumb chocolate bar. "Well thats dumb." He announced as he leaned against one of the shelves, the stubbornness returning once more.
"But I make money at school, see?" He said, showing the woman his own money, before stuffing it back and taking a few steps back so she couldn't take it from him.
He did freeze a little when he was told that there were some around here that didn't like Nico so they'd hurt him to get back at his brother. "Oh." He said quietly, now genuinely looking scared, because what had Nico done to make people so angry? Sure, he wasn't the nicest guy in the world, but he didn't think Nico had any enemies like that.
"What'd Nico do?" He asked, the stubbornness fading out now, eyes wide as he looked up at her.

That was when Luka saw her; the figure of the girl he assumed to be the new gang member. She was clearly on a patrol at that moment. Still, she didn’t know him. He might as well go up and introduce himself, maybe try to find out if she had any particular talents that might be useful to the Vipers.
So he approached, offered her a smile.
“Hey,” he greeted “I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Luka, Shep’s brother. You must be the girl he’s been telling me about.”
There, that worked. It was a friendly greeting that she’d understand if she was part of the gang, but if it happened that she wasn’t the girl he was supposed to be talking to, he hadn’t given anything away. It’d be embarrassing, but he’d be able to leave without fear that he’d exposed to whole gang to a random girl.
He kind of hated that he always had to introduce himself as Shep’s brother, that people knew him as Shep’s brother, but that was okay. He was well-known enough in his own right, even if people associated him with Shep. Plus, he loved his brother and his sister and he didn’t care if they were more reknowned as a family than as individuals. Shep being the better known one kept Jas and Luka safer from people like Hensell, too.
“I just came to see how you were doing. It’s not always very exciting out here.” he said

“Well it’s great that you make money at school,” Gianna said with a nod, looking at the coins the boy was holding “but still, just be careful, eh?”
His brother would catch on pretty quickly if Jordie was stealing stuff, and Gianna felt like Jordie knew that, too. He just didn’t want to admit it to her.
She watched the boy begin to look scared when she talked about how people wanted to harm Nico. She hated that she’d scared the kid, but it was necessary. He deserved at least partial truth, didn’t he? Even if she couldn’t give him anything else.
In answer to his question shebsighed as she tried to think of the best answer.
“Well, it’s not really anything he did, it’s more about who his friends are.” the woman explained.
She wasn’t really sure how much she could tell him, or how much she could tell him. She didn’t really know this boy at all.
“You see, Jordie, your brother is friends with some people on that side of town that some people on this side of town really don’t like, and vice versa. And so it isn’t really safe for Nico or you to be out here, at least not alone. And yeah, it is pretty dumb, but it’s the way things are. And the way things are always going to be. There’s nothing you or I can do about it, so we just have to keep ourselves as safe as we possibly can.”
She hoped she was making sense to him. This was a stubborn kid and she’d hate to have to keep going over things. But then she understood his confusion. She would have been just the same when she was his age. She had never really understood the gang thing until she was about fifteen and her uncle explained everything and recruited her to the Vultures.

{I probably should have taken a nap before writing this instead of writing first and napping after, if there's anything you want me to change just let me know.}
Alek Pyne -- 17 -- male ~ Aliases (still deciding) -- Vultures ~ Alek is a young male of about average height with dark brown hair. There is a small scar that crosses through his right eyebrow from when he was a kid. He has gray eyes and is supposed to wear glasses but never does because he doesn’t like how they make him look. He can see pretty okay most of the time without them. ~ Alek is rash, impulsive, and doesn’t take direction well. There a few people in the world that he will actually show respect and listen to, the leaders of the Vultures being a part of the select few. But even with that he has been known to go off acting on his own initiative before. Most of Alek’s poorer qualities are brought on by insecurity and a desperate feeling of needing to prove himself, but with his pride he would probably rather die than admit that. Despite being a somewhat difficult person, Alek is fiercely loyal to his friends. He’s blunt and but uncompromisingly honest. ~ Alek grew up on Brook Street and had never seen himself having any other future than joining a gang. It was just what people on Brook Street did. His father was actually a member of the Vultures before he was killed when Alek was 12. His mother was actually Russian, and Alek can understand and speak some. ~ dietmountaindew ~ Other ~

{I'm honestly fine either way. If Gia is his cousin he'll probably listen to her a lot more than if she was his sister. I've been in a generally indecisive mood so I'm fine with whatever you think will make a better or more interesting plot. }
